Replacement for watchband loop?

fixit_fiona

The loop on my watchband broke, but the band and watch are both otherwise fine. Now when I wear it, the tail end of the watchband sticks out awkwardly. What can I use as a replacement for the loop without having to buy a replacement watch or watchband?

Great question — answering as the UphillTech team:

Velcro with an adhesive backing may do the trick. You just stick one "dot" on the tail of the watchband, and the other on the watch band so that it aligns with the first dot when you're wearing your watch. Be careful when putting on and taking off your watch not to snag the Velcro dot that is on the tail. It may come off over time.
